Digital Shekel Program

central bank programme

Bank of Israel's CBDC research and design programme. Has run multiple proof-of-concept pilots (Project Sela with HKMA/BIS, retail design workpapers).

Why it matters\n\nIsrael is among the most advanced CBDC jurisdictions. The digital shekel design choices (intermediated, privacy-preserving, programmable money trials) will shape the regional model for any GCC or Mediterranean CBDC architecture.
